Friday, October 9
Florida State @ Louisville (-4, 60) 7:00 pm (ESPN) - This odd meeting between formerly-ranked Louisville and the rising Seminoles is certainly one to have consequences. Louisville may be in the midst of a monumental meltdown, having lost back-to-back games against Wake Forest (30-27) and at NC State (31-28).
On the flip side, visiting, 3-2, Florida State lost narrowly to SMU (27-24), were only beaten by Alabama by two TDs (not a disgrace) and are coming off a very convincing, 38-7, win against Virginia. The Seminoles have a rapidly-improving defense and an offense beginning to find its footing.
Coin Flip: Louisville
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Seminoles 34 Cardinals 20
Since Iowa upended Michigan, 20-19, a couple of weeks ago, two things have happened of note. First, the Hawkeyes were dropped back on planet earth by the Buckeyes, who topped them, 31-14, in Iowa, and second, the Wolverines lost a second straight game, losing the Little Brown Jug at Minnesota, 20-14. Thus, Iowa’s win over Michigan may not account for as much as previously thought. This should be a whale of a game, however.
Coin Flip: Washington
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Huskies 23 Hawkeyes 20
BYU has its sights set on the Big 12 championship and entry into the CFP. They are likely to dominate at home.
Coin Flip: Iowa State
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cougars 42 Cyclones 16
7 Indiana (-7.5, 51) @ Nebraska 12:00 pm (FOX) - Those still waiting for Matt Rhule’s turnaround of the Cornhuskers might think this is the year, as Nebraska has opened the season with a 5-0 mark, including wins over Michigan State and Maryland. Indiana is a different kind of Big 10 foe, however, one defending a national championship.
QB Anthony Colandrea has 13 TD passes and just two picks, so the Nebraska offense is fired up, but the Indiana defenders will be on the prowl after a 29-23 win over a determined Northwestern team and a 47-15 rout at pass-happy Rutgers.
With first place in the conference on the line, the Hoosiers should come up big.
Coin Flip: Indiana
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Hoosiers 34 Cornhuskers 20
After the way the Mezzo demolished Florida (45-17) last week, don’t be surprised to see this line move closer to -6 in favor of the Tigers.
Coin Flip: Missouri
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Tigers 31 Aggies 20
The Gamecocks may be 0-3 in the SEC, but whenever LaNorris Sellers is running the offense, they have a chance to score from anywhere on the field, which they did last week, losing narrowly to Kentucky, 35-34. Playing in the “Swamp” will be a real test for SC, but the SEC is full of upsets and incomplete narratives. Mark this one closer than imagined.
Coin Flip: Florida
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Gators 36 Gamecocks 30
